I was at a small pashmina stall asking for the price of a wooly poncho. The price is RM59 and the price for after discount is RM50. After listening, I told the owner I would consider because RM50 is still expensive though the poncho is very soft and comfy. I was about to walk away when he bursted with RM48. I went gaga. Then he went with RM47. I asked him if he was reducing prices and he said yes. I think he wanted to reduce more but I somehow interrupted him with "It's not I don't want to buy, but I don't have cash. Do you accept card then?" He was speechless. We smiled and walked away.

Sighed. There are times I really want to buy some thing but no money no talk.

Before my vocal teacher could inform me on the next activity organized by the school, my reaction was jumpy and repeating saying NO. Oh well, my reaction was totally not exaggerating at all because there's going to be a singing competition. And I strongly believed she was inviting me to join but she didn't try to persuade me to join after looking at my reaction.

Shortly after that, we started my singing practise on My Immortal by Evanescence. This is a song I don't really like because I can't sing this song well... Mostly because I suck at the time but there is improvement because I managed to sing this song at a slow tempo. But that's not the main attraction of this post. While singing this song, my mind trailed off to the competition. I was imagining my singing of this song in the competition. And somehow I giggled during the practise and missed out a few sentences. HAHA. I shared this imagination with the teacher. She commented I might be the next 'William Hung' with that song!! But I thought I would just end up terrorizing the audience with my singing!! So somehow I managed to persuade her to not invite me to join any competition or activities because my voice is totally not ready. And somehow I also managed to make her think that her reputation is at risk too for a student like me to go on stage. HEHE. A win win situation in conclusion.

But anyway we end up agreeing to settle on Tearsdrop on My Guitar by Taylor Swift. We both got hook on that song because the lyric is just plain sad and it's applicable to anyone, both male and female. After singing the song, we commented the song in unison with one sentence "That's just so sad."

Have you guys heard of this song before? If no, I hope you enjoy this country song.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

I somehow feel fortunate to have bought a very beautiful and lovely set of tarot cards in 2006. That is because I can't find back that range of tarot cards in Malaysia bookstore at the moment. I feel blessed. I have another deck which is traditional and I seriously got no idea how to play with it, as I'm just too lazy to remember the position of the cards and interpreting it. HAHA.

So what Tarot Card are you?

Weird commentary came from my mother over dinner. I just got out from the shower and the television was airing Oprah Winfrey talkshow. I leaned over the sofa to check the Astro guidebook, hoping there would be some interesting program to watch. Spotting none, I asked out loud if my mother and sister were watching Oprah. They replied a big no.

Suddenly my mother chirped "I hate watching this kind of talk show because the guest talks too much."

HAHA. My sister and I replied in unison "THEY ARE PAID TO TALK. THEY ARE THERE TO TALK."

I had a good stomach exercise before having dinner.

I thought of a way to put my ultimate concern in a question.

There was a Chinese headline on the newspaper stating "Economic Explosion" due to the global recession. There will always be a time for the economic bubble to burst and it usually happens once every 10 years. No? The last time it happened in the Asia was 1997, known as Asian Financial Crisis. And it happens again in mid 2008 onwards. So it's quite true right? Still not convince? Ok. Let's look any economic graph. You could see the ups and downs right? So the theory is quite true right? [I won't use 'fact' because I have forgotten most of my economic terms]

So if you were to agree with me that there's a peak where the economy bubble would burst at a time, could I substitute the economy with natural resources? Could you now imagine the state of the world's natural resources on the economic graph except the dotted lines don't go up and down but only down and down and further down? In the least, the economy on the graph could bounce back but natural resources could never bounce back; its graph would never have lines going up. If yes, it would be miracle. Please don't ask me or even tell me that natural resources could recover back to its original state [I'm saying this because I know there would be people telling me this line] or even my claims are too serious because environment could recover on its own. Yes, the environment can recover on its own course WITHOUT humans. But humans cannot live without environment. We still can't create anything out of nothing. And please don't challenge me saying we would be able to create anything out of nothing in the future like an author wrote in his book that there would be sexual pill, which is viagra. But when will we have that techology? If humans really had that technology, you and I won't be able to feel and taste that technology because we might not even have enough of resources to survive by then! If we could imagine the deprivation and suffering of not having enough money to buy food, then is it possible to imagine the same emotion when you can't meet your basic needs like to drinking clean water and eating food? Just because the environment is so bare and polluted? I'm talking rubbish? Ok... An example would be during war... I'm sure you have heard people digging ground in search for sweet potatoes or eating insects... And sometimes people don't even have sweet potatoes to eat because there were none. People... kids... youth were forced to starve...

I can't blame people for not being able to picturise what I just said because we are so fortunate to be surrounded by food supply. Right, left, center are restaurants and food outlets.

Speaking of which, I have a half loaf of unfinished bread on my kitchen table...

I had a fulfilling dinner tonight at a very unknown restaurant 10 minutes away from my home. The menu was very simple and I was actually not impressed. I thought the menu could have more varities, but I was starving so I just picked their today special: Tuna Meltz. The description of it was very simple but it was neatly done, I must say, when it was served. I first thought it as quite pricy but I was so full after cleaning up the plate. I changed my mind again.

As I was eating, it suddenly struck to me why no restauranteur tries to specialise in serving soup? Yes, just mainly soup served with garlic bread. How's that?? Of course, can serve with something else la but along that idea.
